For the ignorant out here
Hey Racket,
Can you go more in depth about each of those? In some cases I don't know what it does (PSX), in others a better description would be nice (VMU make, extension cable lenght).
Are the cables of the regular controllers short, in fact?

I'd so go with the extension cord. I have a 60" tv and to sit where my controller reaches requires me to crank my head all over the place to be able to see the entire TV. I'd like to sit on my couch, but the controller doesn't reach.
DAMN IT!
Which really sucks for Rez... do you know how many times I've missed level ups or bonus points because I didn't see them zooming off screen all the way on the other side!?

Non of them would be official Sega stuff, but would be good quality.
I've been using the extension cords for years with no problems.
The VMUs would hold much more than your standard Sega one.
The adapter would let you use Playstation controllers (including Dual Shocks and Steering Wheels) on your Dreamcast in addition to support for PC keyboards.
In regards to the Dreamcast controller cords... the standard controller cables are about 6 1/2 feet. The extention cables would double that resulting in 13 feet or so.

I'm probably interested in the VMU.
Excuse my n00bness:
These are actual VMUs with the visual screen and tiny commands that you can play mini games etc on, not just memory sticks for the saves?
How much does a Sega one store?
Are these 3rd party ones compatible with everything (I ask because I read somewhere that some 3rd party N64 controller packs for savegames used compression to fit more saves and were incompatible with some games)

They don't have screens, so its techincally not a VMU...
But it has 800 blocks of game save storage.
Can't remember how much a standard VMU holds...

I think 200 blocks.
Typically, how many saves can a regular Sega VMU hold?
It really depends on the games, but on average, maybe 12-15...(?)
